Summary
After installing new sensory upgrades, Connor's life begins to change.
‘If I knew my hair was gonna bug you so much, I wouldn’t have cut it,’ said Hank, eyebrows raised.
‘It’s not bugging me.’
'Uh huh?’ said Hank, disbelieving.
‘It’s not bugging me negatively.'
‘So what, you like it too much? It’s just a damn haircut.’
Connor decided that in this instance, honesty was the best policy. ‘I want to touch it,’ he admitted.Series

Summary
"You know what a green card marriage is, right?" Hank asks.
"Sure," Connor says, dimly amused, because Hank was sweet to come all the way up to Canada, but this is ridiculous. "Who am I marrying?"
What Connor intends to say next is that he isn't that desperate, that his life here might not be what he would pick for himself but that it's also perfectly fine, until Hank pulls a little box from his pocket and opens it.
"I mean," Hank says, "I'm sure you have other options, but I'm offering. As your friend."
~~
Like so many other androids, Connor goes to Canada after the revolution. Android autonomy may have been granted, but things are still dangerous, and he doesn't want Hank to get hurt for protecting him. It was never supposed to be a permanent solution, but by early 2040, a number of legal developments have made it such that androids can only return to the states if they're marrying a citizen.
Connor wants to come home. Jeff wants him back on the force. And Hank just wants him back.

Summary
Hank is 53 years old. He's never had a soul mark, doesn't have a soul mate. And he's fine with that. He cheated the system once and it cost him everything he had. Never again.
When August 2038 rolls around and the number '313 248 317 - 51' appears on his arm in perfect Cyberlife Sans font, exactly where a soul mark should be, Hank wants nothing to do with it.
